Return from Kingsbury: frequent trains on the Jubilee
Line. Both stations are in Zone 4.
Barn Hill Open Space and Fryent Country Park,
with fine viewpoints from the two hills en route (Wembley Stadium,
Harrow-on-the-Hill), a trigpoint at 86m above sea and several good choices for ‘tea’...
Tea: On the main drag, there are several Sub-Continental restaurants, a Wetherspoon’s (J.J. Moon’s) and then there’s the Roisin Dubh, a tiny Irish bar just off the Kingsbury Circle on Fryent Way.

n=5 walkers despite the forecast (and reality) of w=mainly-rainy weather.
Once we were off the pavement and into the Country Park, it was surprisingly quite muddy in most places, although not deeply so. From teh top of Barn Hill, and despite the drizzle/light rain, we had some half-decent views of Wembley Stadium and assorted building site cranes in the distance. Down the hill then (where one slid onto her side) and across the A road. A minority interest wanted to cut out the south easterly loop and follow the Capital Ring instead on this section, so we obliged. All 5 then went to Bombay Spice Nashta House for a wholesome meal.
